I'd love for Roblox to be destroyed. But also, it'd be great if kids had actual places they could hang out together unsupervised

You do realise that Roblox experience creators profit off Roblox not the other around? When you pay a game you pay through the devs. You could say social media profits off of child artists uploading their art onto it. At least Roblox pays their developers?? Which are rarely kids FYI.

YT isn't a reputable source of information. It's designed for clicks. Now lets consider all the other MMOs out there that are exploitative and the cobalt in your smartphone mined using whipped children in Africa that gets zero attention.

damn that's weaksauce. You didn't even try.

I’d ignore them, they’ve done this on a ton of other people’s posts about Roblox and at this point they’re either rage baiting or being willfully ignorant

You linked a YT video. Something made for clicks, and full of bs. You need to learn how the Roblox ecosystem works. If a kid makes a game and doesn't monetise it, they get to enjoy making and sharing the game. Just like kids do art on social media. It's a dev platform, there's many of those.

You're literally the meme. Congratulations.

No I'm saying it's two-faced when you support things that are far worse. It's like a carnivore telling people fur farming is cruel when they are the largest contributors to cruelty as a group. Say you got what you want, Roblox shut down. So kids go to the even less safe platforms. Memes aren't logic

"YouTube videos aren't real. I'm very intelligent."

YouTube videos are not reputable sources. Anyone can make them and say anything. And ad hominem is irrelevant. You are just being toxic now.

This is just lawyers trying to make a profit and puritan trying to impose age verification

Their platform is built to extract labor from kids and exploit them with dreams of making money that Roblox basically makes inaccessible. What’s messed up is that I’ve talked to multiple of my parent friends about this and they don’t stop their kids from using it.

Is it not just all other medias then ? YouTube, TikTok and all of them do this. In Warcraft, if you do a mod, not only, your not getting paid, but they claim that what you did is theirs.

So technically YouTube is not usable by children under 13, not sure about TikTok. The difference is that Roblox is kid targeted, and their system is designed to pay out only a fraction what they promise you. It’s exploitation to an extreme. But you are correct too, all these UGC systems do it some.

The minimum age to create an account on Roblox is 13 years old too. I guess they have the same executives or follow the same rules. I mean, YouTube don't pay you shit if you don't have an entrepreneur license. Like most of these platforms, in Europe anyway.

Not true at all, they let you use it if you are under 13. You can’t do all the things but it’s still available for under 13 year olds. And as we both know people under 18 are also children too. getkidas.com/how-to-safel...

They just want their kids to have fun and don’t really want to think about it much at all.

They’ll hit you with a cease and desist #yteffecr @galeannehurd.bsky.social
